[Dazz]

oh well it's just the same as any other martial art with kicking ,punching, blocking but in a different style

[Leo]

Because he thinks Marshall arts with his mates Dave and Danny are sooo cool when they're not. They're useless on the street.

lol its cool, though it is a bit old.

[Kimoflea]

You do know that you can't shoot energy balls out of your hands like Ken and Ryu if you learn shotokan though, Darren

[Dazz]

Seems to be a common idea - you won't believe how many times I get asked if I can 'summon dragon powers' and 'cast energy bolts'. 

[Dazz]

I knew you couldn't shoot energy balls from my hands

and who do you take me for? a 5 year old? XD

[Kimoflea]

My brother seriously tried to learn Ninjitsu to be like Yoshimitsu from Tekken xD

And Darren smells I was being sarcastic.. nincompoop!

[Dazz]

EDIT: tell him I said hi!

There's a thought Darren. Take up Ninjitsu and be sexy like this guy


And my dearest brother says 'Shut up Kim and leave me alone, you're such a CENSORED'

[Dazz]

WTF!  Then what is the point in learning it????  :blink:

[Kimoflea]

To have an exbecausee for wearing your pajamas all day

Karate is pretty snazzy ooking. Either that or Judo. Right now I box, and my dad also teaches me how to street fight 0_0. I like the punch and elbow combo

You stole my pic! Lol, its all good.

Anyway, I take Tae Kwon Do with the ATA (American Tae Kwon Do Association) which is as close to real tae kwon do as anyone in the West is going to get. I really want to do kendo or perhaps judo, but TKD is fun Its a really good starter martial art, they take you from weakling to a somewhat flexible/strong/powerful(any adjective will fit) person in a relatively short time. I've been in about 5 years and its payed off in a few fights.

TKD specializes in kicks. Seeing on of our masters (there are sooo many of them) do a butterfly kick is incredible.

Start out in TKD and move to something like judo or ju jitsu.

[Kimoflea]

Judo just looks like a bunch of people hugging each other.

[pyke]

I would join something, but I would feel like Kramer

Judo is crazy Kim, all about submissions. Very useful in defending yourself.

[Sham]

I have a friend who does Kung Fu and my little brother does Tae Kwon Doe. I seriously have no idea what the differences are between them.

Judo rocks...that's what my favorite UFC fighters use.

[Hidden.Elf]

judo is cool... its easier to overpower bigger people with it (I'm kinda short )

Look martial arts seriously dont help much on the streets.
Ive been at tae kwon do 2 years and I KNOW it wont help me on the streets.
If someones coming running at you and going to throw a punch, your martial arts seriously wont help.
Taekwondo for me is mostly tournaments where you try to increase your quickness with your feet and aim for the other person's targets ont he chest with your feet for points(anyone whos done taekwondo should understand what I'm saying, (sparring)).
Just learn how to street fight, itll help you a lot more than a martial art can.
Only if youre really a master that youll learn to use this on the streets.
Dont follow movies
